The Roberts Radio Company was founded in 1932 when Harry Roberts and Leslie Bidmead combined their respective talents as radio maker and saleswoman, and opened up a small workshop near Oxford Circus. The first company to produce a high quality portable radio, Roberts radios fast became a success, selling in stores like Harrods. Roberts soon saw demand grow in the period leading up to World War II, as the public wanted to stay up to date with the news and, in 1939, the Queen Mother bought the young Princess Elizabeth her first Roberts portable radio. In our Roberts brand store youll find products that show how the company continues to innovate in the digital age, with the introduction of features like PausePlus, CD and SD bookmark, and the latest WiFi technology.
